Trend Micro Maximum Security

Trend Micro Maximum Security is a subscription security suite for households and individual users. It protects up to five devices across Windows, macOS, Android, iOS and ChromeOS.

The product combines antivirus and anti-malware scanning with ransomware protection, phishing and scam detection, parental controls, password management, social-media privacy protection and mobile security features.

Trend Micro positions Maximum Security below Premium Security Suite. Maximum Security does not include the premium tier’s personal VPN, identity-theft restoration services or broader ten-device coverage.

Maximum Security uses Trend Micro’s Advanced AI Learning capability alongside conventional security protections. The suite identifies malware, ransomware, suspicious websites, phishing attempts and online scams.

Its web protection features cover online banking, shopping, email scams and social-media privacy risks. Parental controls provide tools for managing children’s online activity.

The subscription also includes password management, mobile-device protection and monitoring for personal information appearing on the dark web. Feature availability can differ by operating system.

Chromebook support uses Trend Micro Security from the Chrome Web Store. The official requirements page specifies ChromeOS 79 or later for supported Chromebooks.

Trend Micro’s U.S. product page lists Maximum Security for five devices at $74.95 for a 12-month subscription, reduced from a displayed regular price of $99.95. Promotional prices can change.

The same page lists a 24-month option at $139.95, compared with a displayed regular price of $199.90. The vendor may apply promotional discounts or coupon codes at checkout.
